Frequently Asked Questions
How many meters of PLA-GF (Glass Fiber) filament are in a 1kg spool?
A standard 1,000g (1 kg) spool of 1.75mm PLA-GF (Glass Fiber) filament (density 1.29 g/cm³) contains approximately 322.29 meters (~1057 feet). For 2.85mm diameter, a 1 kg spool yields approximately 121.52 meters.
What is the density of PLA-GF (Glass Fiber) 3D printer filament?
PLA-GF (Glass Fiber) has an average density of 1.29 g/cm³. Heavier composite filaments yield fewer meters per kilogram than lightweight unfilled polymers.
How do I calculate remaining PLA-GF (Glass Fiber) on a used spool?
Weigh your spool on a digital scale in grams, subtract the tare weight of the empty spool (typically 130g–240g depending on brand), and enter the net filament weight into the MakersMetric calculator above to find the exact remaining meters.
What print temperatures are recommended for PLA-GF (Glass Fiber)?
Recommended nozzle extrusion temperature is 210-235 °C, with a recommended print bed temperature of 55-65 °C.
